Michael Lorenzen Could Return By Saturday
3 years agoCincinnati Reds right-hander Michael Lorenzen (shoulder) will throw on Tuesday and Thursday with Triple-A Louisville. Manager David Bell said that it's possible that Lorenzen will be activated from the injured list by Saturday. Lorenzen has been out all season with a right shoulder strain, but he could be a useful swing man for the Reds in the second half of the season. The 29-year-old will probably only be in play in fantasy as a deep league streamer if he makes some starts after posting a 4.28 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and a 9.4 K/9 in 18 appearances (two starts) over 33 2/3 innings in 2020. Lorenzen did have a 2.92 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 24.8 percent strikeout rate in 73 appearances covering 83 1/3 relief innings in 2019.
